This song whisks me back in time with the use of kitsch organ noises especially, with the radio tuning noise at the beginning, and there’s a violin being played. I like storytelling songs in the lyrics, and a good example of this is the fact that this song is about Wendy, who was a writer …
What I like about this song is how it runs at a fair pace; the drums are cinematic, the kick is an 808, but the rest are percussive. The vocals are well produced, the harmonies are bang on. The vocals remind me of someone, but I just can’t quite place my finger on it — …
I was speaking to Neil March, fellow Fresh On The Net moderator about this band over lunch this weekend and he had only positive things to say about them…. They have played his Vanishing Point gig, and he said they were amazing. This is their new single, and it’s stunning. The overall production is stunning, …
Congratulations on the release of “To The Ends of The Earth” how does it feel? Thanks! It feels great to be finished with it for sure. We started tracking drums in April 2021. We were mostly finished with recording by September, but we made a couple last minute revisions/additions in December. It was definitely …

Lizzie Esau returns with a song that explores her using spoken word at the beginning of the track… There are so many things I like about this song it sounds like everyone’s walking into a rehearsal or live stage and then sitting down to get this song going.. Lizzie’s talent for writing a catchy melody …
This new one from South African duo Future Radio is anthemic, catchy chorus over raucous guitars and big drums… This is beyond brilliant and just as I’d expect from these guys. “Give me something to believe in, give me me room so I can breathe…” This song is so catchy, and living in a world …
This instrumental is… Full of life. In a time when the world needs to get up and celebrate what we have, this track hits the spot. Josephine plays the violin and flute on this and while you wouldn’t really associate the violin and flute occupying the melody line for jazz and funk, she does it …
This has such a smooth jazz feel to it.. the groove is trippy, and that’s the thing I like about it, Feds, comes in with a total buttery vocal and I like it, she’s having fun on this and I appreciate that… “Let’s take this day by day, don’t wanna say the words that I’ve …
